About this book
The Didache is presented here as a compact early Christian guide to worship and communal life, with Allen’s notes aimed at readers unfamiliar with patristic literature. When a traveling visitor arrives, the community is told to give practical help but not let a guest remain indefinitely unless willing to work. The rules for prophets weigh conduct alongside teaching and distinguish a personal demand for money from a request made for people in need. Near the close, Allen relates the warning about Christ’s return to parallels in the Gospels and Paul’s letters.
